relaxing yet productive weekend

We had a "cleaning" morning and fun afternoon weekend thus far. On friday when we settled in to play games/watch a movie Heather and I promptly fell asleep (jeff claims it was 6:30) and Charlie followed an hour later. Saturday we got up and cleaned, Jeff mopped, and the kids got to play in a tent that Jeff made after picking up a bit. Then after lunch Jeff took the kids to a movie while I kept the cleaning momentum going. After naps we went to a neighbor's for a nice relaxing dinner. This morning more cleaning when Heather announced spiders in her room. The kids played really nicely together all morning (making messes...). After lunch we headed to the pool so Heather could show Jeff how she could "swim" underwater. We took some toys that sink to the bottom of the pool so Heather could get them and some balls that Charlie could paddle after in his life jacket. Heather couldn't figure out how to get herself down but with help of a parent thrusting her partway down she did it. She even touched her hand to the bottom in the 4 1/2 foot section which she was very proud of. Charlie at times jumps fearlessly off the side and swims back (life jacket on!)
